To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking with Chiltern Railways to help prevent overcrowding.
Simon Lightwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Chiltern Railways periodically adjust their timetable in response to passenger demand. From the 18th May, Chiltern will introduce three new Saturday services between Banbury and London Marylebone.
We are engaging closely with Chiltern's fleet renewal programme seeking to procure additional trains to increase capacity, whilst ensuring it delivers value for money.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
